WEB15,000 mile fuel injector cleaner that some quick lube places hook up to your car and run through the system with some sort of hose? More low cost/high profit/little benefit "maintenence" voodoo? or truly beneficial. Even my Chevy dealer did this---At the 10,ooo mile service [for 59.95]!!!

WEBThe fuel injector cleaner I am thinking about using is STP Super Concentrated Fuel Injector Cleaner. Normally it is about $5.00 a bottle.

Place the open end of the fuel hose in a measuring cup or graduated cylinder.

Do I need a MotorVac CarbonClean Service??? - Edmunds
WEB"The fuel injectors spray fuel into the engine through a nozzle with tiny holes the size of a human hair. When the nozzle slowly build up deposits (apparently at 45,000 and 75,000 miles per the service manager at LTM) the holes become restricted and are no longer able to create the mist of fuel needed for proper combustion. This decrease in ...

WEBAlso swapped out the Intake Air Temp Sensor that just slips into the air intake duct between the air cleaner and the intake to no avail. Fuel pump gives me just a smige over 60lbs of pressure when its turned on, and runs steady at 56 to 58lbs when it starts and runs in the warmer temps. Fuel pump seems to be ok.
